African Cape Reed Thatch roof

Thatch is made from African Cape Reed native to South Africa. Cape Reed is harvest and produces an easy to use tile which can be clipped, nailed or screwed to its frame.

The roof pitch of an African Hut is usually steeper at 35 – 40 degrees so the Thatch roof will last longer due to its greater drainage capabilities. This also reduces the potential of the damage done by strong winds.
